Bright House Networks’ STEM Bright Ideas is a competition that encourages youth ages 14-19 to come up with the next “big idea” utilizing STEM to make their community and world a better place. Last year, we had a local Central Indiana winner, Vikas Maturi, from Carmel High School.

​He had the opportunity to fly to Orlando, FL and compete head-to-head against five other contestants/teams in front of a live studio audience and judges. It had the feel of a live TV “Shark Tank” production. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. There will once again be a Central Indiana Division Winner. The overall winner will receive the opportunity to turn their idea into a reality, working with an major innovation firm in NYC. I would definitely encourage your students to look at the website link: http://brightideas.brighthouse.com/ and watch the video about last year’s competition. The competition runs now through January 4th and students can apply in the link above. The competition is open to all public, private and parochial high school students or homeschooled students, ages 14 to 19. Students may compete as individuals or as part of a team of two.This is a great way for students to build their resume and network with STEM, business and marketing professionals in Indiana and throughout the country
